Find Your Starting Station
Here's the Trolley system map for Comic-Con 2012. Your destination for Comic-Con is either the Convention Center or Gaslamp Quarter Station. You can also take the Blue or Orange Lines to 12th & Imperial Transit Center and walk to the Convention Center. Please note that Civic Center, Seaport Village, and Middletown Trolley stations (marked in red on the map below) will be closed for construction during Comic-Con. The Trolley will not stop at these stations.
There is free parking at Qualcomm Stadium. At Hazard Center, free parking is available on the lower level (in the evening on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday; and all day on Saturday and Sunday). For location and parking information for other Trolley stations, check this Trolley station list.

Buy Your Trolley Day Pass
A one-way Trolley fare is $2.50, but if you are returning on the Trolley, remember to purchase your $5 Day Pass before boarding. This will help you avoid lines at the ticket booth and Ticket Vending Machines on your return trip. A day pass allows unlimited travel on MTS all day. For those attending more than one day, MTS Day Passes are available in denominations from 1 to 5 days. A multi-day pass is your most economical way to travel to Comic-Con!

This year, MTS is selling special commemorative Comic-Con day passes. Commemorative Comic-Con day passes can be purchased at select Trolley stations with ticket booth sales (see dates and times below). If you'd like to purchase a commemorative pass before July 11, you may do so at The Transit Store. You may also purchase regular 1-4 day passes from Ticket Vending Machines at Trolley stations. Ticket Vending Machines accept cash and credit/debit cards.
